Marcus Goodyear’s Summary

After ten years of teaching English in Texas Public schools, I entered the editing world with a knack for working quickly through a large stack--paying particular attention to logic and language.

Now, I work primarily online, editing a wide range of authors, soliciting new authors, working with bloggers, and experimenting in social media.

My goals are to continue to develop my craft as a writer and editor to help people communicate with accuracy, focus, and inspiration.
